DEAR LIFE.....
Life,
you can’t hold back me because I refuse to take your discipline too seriously.
When you try to hurt me, I laugh and the laughter knows no pain. I appreciate your joys wherever I find them,
your sorrows neither frighten nor discourage me, for there is laughter in my
soul.
Temporary
defeat does not make me sad. I simply
set music to the words of defeat and turn it into a song. Your tears are not for me, for I like
laughter much better, and because I like it, I use it as a substitute for grief
and sorrow and pain and disappointment.
Life,
you are a unpredictable trickster don’t deny it. You slipped the emotion of love into my heart
so that you might use it as a thorn with which to prick my soul but I learned
to avoid your trap with laughter. You
tried to attract me with the desire for gold, but I have fooled you by
following the trail which leads to knowledge instead. You induced me to build beautiful
friendships-then converted my friends to enemies so you may harden my heart,
but I sidestepped your figure on this by laughing off your attempts and
selecting new friends in my own way.
You
caused men to cheat me at trade so I will become distrustful, but I won again
because I possess one precious asset which no man can steal it is the power to
think my own thoughts and to be myself.
You threaten me with death, but to me death is nothing worse than a long
peaceful sleep, and sleep is the sweetest of human experiences-excepting
laughter. You build a fire of hope in my
heart, then sprinkle water on the flames, but I can go you one better by
rekindling the fire and I laugh at you once more.
You
have nothing that can lure me away from laughter, and you are powerless to
scare me into submission. To a life of
laughter, then, I raise my cup of cheer!
